Body Learning:
The Alexander Technique
A podcast devoted to all aspects of the Alexander Technique, a method
of learning how to release harmful tension and perform all your activities
with greater ease and freedom.

A New View of the Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is often seen as a way of letting go of harmful habits. In his Keynote Address at the 2014 annual meeting of the American Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique, John Nicholls proposes a view of the Technique as a forward-looking, life-long process of developing our potential. In his view, it is a practice of embodied mindfulness in which we choose to embody our deepest aspirations and attitudes in the fullest sense of those words. (Error Correction: near the end of the talk a line of poetry quoted is wrongly attributed to Robert Graves' translation from an inscription at the Temple of Delphi. It is in fact a common translation of lines supposedly from legendary ancient Greek poet Orpheus.) John teaches, and trains Alexander Technique teachers, in New York City.

F. Matthias Alexander's lost "Fifth Book"
Richard Brennan, an Alexander Technique teacher and author in Galway, Ireland talks with Robert Rickover about "Conscious Control in Relation to Human Evolution in Civilization", published by Alexander in 1912 and although rarely seen since, is well worth reading.
Richard has recently re-published the book in a paperback edition. The book is available through Richard's website:alexander.ie Robert teaches in Lincoln, Nebraska and Toronto, Canada.
